what program are you using? i'm trying to learn how to do this better too. i use photoshop cs3 but i hear photomatrix gives you more liberty. but w/ cs3 i'd try messing exposure and channel mixer. get to this via: image->adjustments-> exposure/channel mixer. you can also try messing with the toning curve and histogram when you convert the image to 8bit channel/jpg form. you get to this by going to image-> mode-> 8bits channel. then click local adaptation in the box next to method. hope this helps. lmk if you have any better tips
